In the blink of an eye, Xiao Lingyu had already been pregnant for more than nine months and was only half a month away from the due date.
This time, both the Gong family and the Xiao family were prepared and exceptionally cautious.
Especially Gong Tianhao. He did not dare to leave Xiao Lingyu for even a moment, afraid that the child would be born earlier than the due date.
The Gong and Xiao families decided to give birth at Xing Yin County People's Hospital.
Gong Tianhao secretly brought Qin Shumin, the most elite obstetrician and gynecologist in the capital, and her team to Taoyuan Village in advance.
The closer it was to the expected date of birth, the more intensive Xiao Lingyu's examinations became. The main focus was to check the condition of the fetus, the condition of the amniotic fluid, the condition of the umbilical cord, and so on.
However, Xiao Lingyu was well-rested during her pregnancy. She would take a walk and exercise every day, so her health was very
good.
Doctor Qin Shumin said, "Everything is fine. We're just waiting for the birth."
Although Xiao Lingyu had experienced this before, in her previous life, her mental state was not right. She was muddle-headed. However, in her memory, she could still remember the heart-wrenching pain.
However, she still insisted on natural birth. They said that natural birth was better for the child.
Besides, Doctor Qin also said that with her current physical and mental state, she would have no problem with natural birth.
Xiao Lingyu was calm.
On the contrary, Gong Tianhao was always on tenterhooks.
He knew that giving birth was very painful for a woman. And there was no telling if there'd be any accidents.
Although he was looking forward to the arrival of the child, he did not want Xiao Lingyu to suffer because of the child.
Many women would rather sacrifice themselves to let the child survive. Of course, he had that worry too.
Therefore, he had to make all the preparations in case of any accidents. He would not allow any mistakes during Xiao Lingyu's birth.
"Yu 'Er, you should rest for a while."
Gong Tianhao looked at Xiao Lingyu, who was busy in the farming space, and frowned. His heart ached.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'm not tired yet."
Gong Tianhao asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you can operate everything in this space with a thought? So why do you need to plant these fruit trees yourself?"
Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao were in the farming space planting fruit trees. Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I'm planting these trees for the child, so he can enjoy the fruits in the future. Of course, I have to plant them personally."
Gong Tianhao's face was full of black lines.
It was for the child again.
As the due date was getting closer and closer, everything Xiao Lingyu did was for the child.
For this reason, Gong Tianhao was jealous of the child.
Gong Tianhao easily defeated his two love rivals.
However, he did not expect that his greatest love rival would be his son.
Gong Tianhao said with jealousy, "Yu 'Er, what's the difference between planting it with your own thoughts and planting it with your own hands? You still plant them yourself,
right?"
After Xiao Lingyu heard this, she mischievously winked at him and said with a smile, "There's definitely a difference. If I use my thought, then I'd be doing everything alone. However, we're now planting the trees together. In the future, the child will be able to taste our love."
Gong Tianhao was stunned for a moment before he quickly reacted. Then, he became happy. He said happily and foolishly, "Oh, I see. Okay. I'll help you then."However, he said unhappily, "But you don't have to do so much. You planted more than ten saplings. Don't forget that you're pregnant now."
"It's okay. I'm fine." Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said.
Gong Tianhao supported her and said persistently, "No, you have to stop and rest for a while. Otherwise, when we go out, I'll tell Mom that you're unwilling to rest."
Without a choice, Gong Tianhao had to bring up Mother Xiao. Xiao Lingyu would only listen to her mother. Xiao Lingyu had a stubborn personality. Sometimes, she was terrifyingly stubborn.
As expected, Xiao Lingyu put down the watering can and placed one hand on her waist. She said helplessly, "You only know how to use mother to threaten me."
Gong Tianhao raised his eyebrows and touched her angry face. He said with a smile, "It's your fault for being so disobedient."
Xiao Lingyu, "..."
Is that so?
While Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao were working in the farming space, a group of people arrived outside. These people were either the managers of big supermarkets or the owners of vegetable businesses.
This was because these people had heard that the Xiao family's vegetables in Taoyuan village were ready to be harvested again.
During the previous season of vegetables and strawberries, they had missed an opportunity to cooperate with the Xiao Family to make money.
City Z's National Union Market had taken the lead. In just a month, they had earned millions just by selling strawberries. This had become a legend in the industry.
National Union was an old supermarket. It started to lose customers with new supermarkets rising everywhere. The flow of the customers started to dry up. In other words, without the strawberries, National Union Supermarket might not even exist anymore. Therefore, the strawberries naturally attracted the attention of the other retailers.
Yan Yihai had ordered all directors to be quiet on the source of the strawberries. However, people's mouths could always be loosened with money.
Eventually, the secret was exposed. Furthermore, people already knew about how popular the strawberries at Taoyuan Village were.
Therefore, with a little inquiry, they knew that the source was in Taoyuan Village. Those retailers naturally paid attention to everything going on at Taoyuan Village. "Who are you?" Mother Xiao looked at the people in suits with confusion. "I'm Shao Wenhua, the purchasing manager of Guoguang supermarket in City Z. I want to meet boss Xiao Lingyu, who grows vegetables." This person spoke to Mother Xiao with a kind of high and mighty arrogance. He didn't even look Mother Xiao in the eye.
"..." Mother Xiao still said very politely, "I'm sorry, this... Manager Shao, boss Xiao Lingyu can't see you right now. If you want, please come back in half a year."
Shao Wen frowned and asked Mama Xiao very discontentedly, "Who are you to Xiao Lingyu? How can you make this decision for her?"
Mother Xiao was amused by this person.
She also said with a cold smile, "Manager Shao, didn't you ask around before you found this place? Who am I? Well, let me tell you. I'm Xiao Lingyu's mother."
Everyone, "..."
The others immediately showed sympathy and disdain for the purchasing manager of Guoguang supermarket in City Z.
This person was so arrogant.
He had directly offended Boss Xiao's mother! His chance was gone.
Shao Wenhua's expression changed when he heard this. How could this young-looking woman be Xiao Lingyu's mother? He thought that this woman would be boss Xiao's sister-in-law or something.
Shao Wenhua wanted to say something, but he was pushed out by the others.
They told Mother Xiao affectionately, "Auntie, I'm the Purchasing Manager of Guoqiang supermarket in City Z. My surname is Jin. I'm looking for boss Xiao today to discuss a collaboration. I wonder when boss Xiao will be free?"
"Auntie, I'm the boss of Zeng family's vegetable store in City z. my surname is Zeng. I'm also here to discuss a collaboration with boss Xiao."
"Auntie, I'm..."
Mother Xiao's head almost exploded.
She immediately raised her hands and then said loudly, "Stop!"
Then, everyone stopped.
Mother Xiao asked in confusion, "You all should be each other's competition. So why have you all arrived together?"
How could there be such a coincidence?
The bosses looked at each other and felt that it was quite strange. How would they all come here at the same time on the same day?
Boss Zeng said truthfully, "I heard that the vegetables in Taoyuan village are in the harvest season, so I came as soon as possible."
"Me too."
"Me too!"
Mother Xiao, "..."
Everyone, "..."
So was it really just a coincidence?
Mother Xiao said, "How about this? It's really not convenient for Boss Xiao to see you guys right now. Can you guys leave a phone number or other contact information for her to contact you when she's available?"
Her daughter was about to have a baby. How could she have the energy to talk about business cooperation?
